Chance me - First-year student from NJ aiming for Ivies and Stanford, MIT

So, if the OP wants to be competitive at MIT, Stanford and Harvard they need to be in the top 10% of their class. I’d say that even then MIT and Stanford would be long shots as only 1 or 2 kids a year are admitted to those schools. If this student wants Ivy+ his/her best chance would be at Cornell as they send a lot of kids there every year (compared to 2-4 per year at other Ivys).
